Also, and this is a small thing but should be said: the *last thing in the world* that another library wants is donations of books that a library is weeding. Because we usually have the same weeding criteria. All you've done is ensure it goes in our dumpster and not yours.Also, and this is a small thing but should be said: the *last thing in the world* that another library wants is donations of books that a library is weeding.

"Why are they being thrown away? Can't they be sold or donated?" Not really. Or rather, if they could, libraries would be doing so. But almost nobody wants old textbooks and absolutely nobody wants spine-cracked paperbacks that are full of annotations"Why are they being thrown away? Can't they be sold or donated?" Not really.

Paperbacks and textbooks were piled up outside Carl Schurz High School, at 3601 N. Milwaukee Ave. in the Irving Park neighborhood.

So this is a road I drove once a month through the mountains of North Carolina back when I lived in the USA. And it's just gone.

The I-40 going through the mountains. One side of it just disappears.

The thing about "just move away from areas where natural disasters are likely" this time around is I feel like "the mountains flooded" isn't really registering with people.
